Facteurs de risque

• High break-even sensitivity (5–10 months) if daily footfall underperforms
• Revenue volatility ($12,600–$21,600) driven by seasonality and event-dependent demand
• Thin margins risk if ingredient and fuel costs rise, reducing the $4,512–$10,092 profit range
• Strong local pressure from 114 nearby competitors limiting differentiation and pricing power
• Lower purchasing power context (GDP/capita $1,830) restricting average order size

2. Build a tight, repeatable menu focused on high-margin staples and fastest-moving items to stabilize throughput

4. Set up a supplier plan to lock ingredient pricing and reduce cost shocks that could erode profits
5. Create competitor-differentiation via signature items, consistent branding, and limited-time specials to stand out among 114 options
